Thank you, I specifically carried those colours over in this image (& I think it's my best painted hair yet lol). I do realize that it is asking too much for only constructive commentary I think most rationale people do. I also realize that if one is too thin skinned than don't invite comments (or post your work). What I found interesting was that the comments had nothing to do with image itself and in fact is aimed at weight. I could do the same image with a big breasted thin waisted woman and the comments would then be about the colouring and the lighting, maybe even the hair. As artists I would hope that we can all find "art" in many different forms and shapes. There are some truly grotesque gothic/macabre images in the gallery, nothing wrong with that they are a style of art and appreciated as such. When an image is done of a gothic character that is anorexic thin (as sinsister did in an awesome piece recently that I personally found beautiful in a truly sinister and macabre manner) there are no comments about weight only about the images - but use a heavy model and it is suddenly about the weight and not the "mood", "style" or what have you. As I stated on the image if one rules out bigger models they are missing out on pieces by fabulous classical artists such as Rubens and others and closing themsleves off to truly beautiful work.
